HPAI Respiratory Protection

People involved in depopulation should wear proper personal respiratory protection and also wear surgical gloving, Tyvek suites, and goggles to prevent conjunctival exposure.

There are two sites that will provide you with some guidance:

• NIOSH Activities: Respiratory Protection Research
• OSHA: Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for an Influenza Pandemic (PDF)

In addition the Agri Safe Network gives recommendations on levels of PPE in HPAI events, as well as a guide for choosing PPE depending on task to be performed (PDF)
